Join Angie's List
Since 1995, Angie Hicks has been dedicated to helping consumers get the real scoop on local service companies and health providers. Inspired by the frustrations her co-founder had trying to find reliable contractors in suburban Columbus, Ohio, she started Angie’s List to help homeowners find who they should hire and who they should avoid.
Today, Angie’s List is the trusted source of reviews on contractors, doctors, dentists and service professionals in more than 550 categories. Over 1 million members nationwide check Angie's List before they hire. It’s what Angie envisioned when she set out door-to-door recruiting members and collecting reviews from friends and neighbors—a locally-focused service devoted to empowering consumers. Angie’s pursuit for trusted reviews has helped turn Angie’s List into a reliable resource which collects about 40,000 reviews a month.

It’s also one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S. expanding from a 100-square foot office to a nationwide operation. Angie’s List was named for three years in a row – 2002, 2003 and 2004 – among the Inc. 500 by Inc. magazine, a list of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the nation and has been included in the Inc. 5000 for the past three years, a testament to its continued growth. All the while, Angie has kept the company true to its roots, providing information members say they wouldn’t live without.

A working mother herself, Angie helps ensure that Angie’s List continues to evolve to meet the ever-changing, dynamic needs of today’s families and homeowners. Angieslist.com puts reliable information and resources at the fingertips of its members, so they can hire right the first time – whether it’s for a major home renovation, an emergency car repair or finding a new dentist.

Angie regularly contributes to national and local consumer news outlets, including CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Redbook, Real Simple, USA Weekend, Parade magazine, Good Housekeeping, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, Money and The Wall Street Journal. Her Ask Angie column is seen weekly in dozens of newspapers across the country including the Dallas Star-Telegram, Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune, The Harford Courant, The Sacramento Bee, The Raleigh News Observer and The Anchorage Daily News. She also gives consumer advice ever week on television stations across the country including in Columbus, Ohio, Indianapolis, Birmingham, Ala., Dayton, Ohio, Denver, Philadelphia, South Bend, Ind., St. Louis, Twin Cities, Toledo, Ohio, Cleveland, Phoenix, Tampa, Fla., Tulsa, Okla., and West Palm Beach, Fla.

Angie’s official title is Founder and Chief Marketing Officer. She holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a bachelor’s degree in economics from DePauw University, in Greencastle, IN, which named her a 2007 Distinguished Alumni for Management and Entrepreneurship. She was named a Torchbearer Award winner in March 2009 by the Indiana Commission for Women, in recognition of her entrepreneurial accomplishments and for providing a positive example of the influence women have on their community and the state of Indiana. She was also selected as a "Forty Under 40" honoree by Indianapolis Business Journal for outstanding professional achievements.
